How to do a project from A to Z: Step-by-Step Guide

This Step-by-Step Guide is a complement to the technical documentation and reference guide, which were existing already a long time. While the technical documentation tells you, what a certain button does, the intention of this Step-by-Step Guide is supposed to tell you, when you actually need the button in your project.

The vision of this practical documentation is to guide you through nearly all required steps to conduct a project really from the very early stages until you submit a good report. It is based on the collective knowledge of many internal DHI users as well as a lot external MIKE SHE users.

At the beginning of every section you will find a link to the corresponding section within the technical documentation, which should be read carefully as preparation for the practical user guide.

This new Step-by-Step Guide is currently under construction and is supposed to be finished as a first complete draft latest by end of June 2026.

Please use the very powerful search function on the top right first, since it can route you quite easily to the solution of your problem. If you still miss completely relevant sections, or you ran within your MIKE SHE project into issues, which could not be solved by searching for your problem in this Online manual, please write a short email incl. explanations to our support hotline mike@dhigroup.com and CC the current Business Owner of MIKE SHE, Philipp Huttner, with his email phhu@dhigroup.com.

Over the time this Online Manual shall become the central contact point for every question related to MIKE SHE.
